60 of 68 · most liked firstGot back from seeing The Last Viking A film flipping between a violent crime thriller and something bordering on the absurd - but the performances were so compelling that I went with it - particularly the upsetting scenes of abuse which provided more empathy with the characters. An interesting film
unlabelledView post →Finally got to watch The Last Viking! It was a wonderful film. Smart and clever and bittersweet, I kept finding myself surprised at each turn. I just was never sure what to expect next but each scene fell into place naturally, and the ending made me cry a little. ❤️

unlabelledView post →I saw The Last Viking at the cinema last night. As a foreign language (Danish) film it's likely to be overlooked by many in the English speaking market so it's worth saying it was very good! Funny, dark occasionally violent, but also heartwarming. Well worth a watch!

In We Believe You, it's kids in child court proceedings, in The Last Viking, it's people with dissociative identity disorder (although, absurdly so), and in Sundays, it's an adolescent caught between warring family members.

He’ll be playing in a Danish movie called “Den Sidste Viking” (The Last Viking) where he’ll play a neurodivergent person. The director and a select few of the actors will come visit the local cinema!

unlabelledView post →Was quite looking forward to The Last Viking. Adored Anders Thomas Jensen’s last film, the brilliant Riders of Justice. Like RoJ, the tone is all over the place but unlike that film, it doesn’t work at all here. Still it has its moments (Nikolaj Lie Klaas in white boxers being 1 of them).

unlabelledView post →In the movie Den sidste viking (The Last Viking) (2025) a bank robber (Nikolaj Lie Kaas) entrusts his brother (Mads Mikkelsen) to hide his loot, but when he comes out of jail his brother has switched personalities. Hilarious, yet sensitive inquiry in if everyone is entitled their own reality 8/10

Worth checking out the other films ATJ’s made with Mads, Nikolaj Lie Kaas & Co if you get the chance- 2000: Flickering Lights 2003: The Green Butchers 2005: Adam’s Apples 2015: Men & Chicken They’ve a new film out later this year too (The Last Viking)- should be an autumn highlight!

unlabelledView post →#2026cinema #8 The Last Viking, 7.75/10 DCA, Dundee (19 July) Quite a fucked up movie consisting of crime thriller, family drama, screwball musical comedy with plenty of violence. Meta touches too like the framing device and casting Sophie Gråbøl and Søren Malling as a mismatched married couple!
unlabelledView post →Surely the greater question is how will this land by generation. I’m now of an age where watching a film with shonky armour and grating dialogue will dissuade me from seeing even though it would cost me nothing as I pay for unlimited cinema entry. Saw The Last Viking this week; probably much better.

unlabelledView post →First is The Last Viking written and directed by Anders Thomas Jensen starring Mads Mikkelsen and Nikolaj Lie Kaas. The best way to describe it is like an Coen Brothers dark crime comedy mixed with a family drama. It’s a little long but it is an very unique film 8/10 it doesn’t have a US release yet

unlabelledView post →The Last Viking is not an easy movie but is good in its own ways. There's a lot of (cartoonish?) violence, and the mix of very dark humor (which didn't fully work for me), absurd characters, plot twists, and subtle social commentary is confusing and very entertaining at the same time. Wonderful actors, beautiful settings, good use of music. The Last Viking, Anders Thomas Jensen 8/10 #thelastviking #nordicmovie #FilmMastodon

Now we know that he gave the loot to his brother "Manfred" (Mads Mikkelsen) to bury out at their late mother's rural home, and so he hopes that's all been done and that they can go out and retrieve it. The snag is that his brother suffers from an associative disorder; has…
